Question:

What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Author: H K



Answer:

OSA, sleep interruption due to repetitive upper airway narrowing or collapse. Breathing events seen during sleep testing (apneas or hypopneas) may be divided by total sleep seen with apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) AHI [5-14] / hour -->mild OSA AHI [15-30] / hour -->moderate OSA AHI >30 / hour --> severe OSA But sleepiness degree is not always correlated with AHI
